The nut coating machine was shipped to Cameroon, the customer is a well-known local nut deep-processing enterprise, which has long been focusing on the production and sales of African specialty nut foods. Its flavored peanuts are very popular among consumers because of their unique taste, and have been supplied to major supermarket chains in West Africa for a long time.

Customer background and market challenges

The Cameroonian client’s food company is headquartered in Douala, famous for its traditional flavored peanut products, and has been supplying local and neighboring countries’ supermarket chains for a long time.

In recent years, with the surge in demand for healthy snacks in the European market, it planned to expand its export share. However, the inefficiency of the traditional hand-wrapping process (average daily production capacity of less than 1 ton), poor seasoning uniformity, and high dependence on manual labor seriously constrain large-scale production and standardized quality control.

Factory visit and core demand

The customer team inspected our factory’s nut coating machine products in depth, and put forward clear requirements for the following links:

  • The average daily production capacity needs to be increased to more than 3 tons, supporting continuous 24-hour operation.
  • Sugar coating uniformity error should be ≤2%, adapt to a variety of spice formulations.
  • Switchable small batch customized production mode to match diversified orders from European customers.
  • Adapt to power fluctuation and high temperature and high humidity environment in Cameroon.

Tailor-made nut coating machine

Aiming at customers’ pain points, our factory provides customized equipment solutions:

  • Equipped with rotary spraying technology, real-time adjustment of syrup atomization precision by air pressure sensor, solving the problem of “uneven thickness” of traditional coating.
  • Equipped with dual-temperature drying tunnel, it supports the automation of the whole process of peanut raw material from washing, coating to drying, reducing manual intervention.
  • Built-in PLC control system with multi-language interface, 10 kinds of pre-set flavor recipes.
  • Upgrade corrosion-resistant stainless steel body, add emergency generator interface, equipped with operation manual and remote maintenance terminal.

After strict production and factory inspection, the nut coating machine completed its packaging and was successfully shipped to Cameroon. We will continue to provide technical support to our customers and help their nut processing industry move to a higher level.
